Policy Questions Why is your resolution called the GRACE Act? The GRACE Act stands for Guarding the Right to Abortion Care for Everyone. Austin wants to be a source of safety and grace for the people suffering under the Texas trigger ban and other laws criminalizing reproductive health choices. What is the GRACE Act? The GRACE Act is a policy recommendation in 2 parts: 1. City funds shouldn’t be used to solicit, catalog, report, or investigate reports of abortion. 2. Police should make investigating abortion their lowest priority. Why just a policy recommendation? Under Texas law and the Austin City Charter, the City Council cannot dictate to city employees how to handle a criminal case. We can declare the policy preferences of the Council and recommend that staff not use city funding, and we can recommend that they place it very low on their list of priorities. City executives, under the direct authority of the City Manager, decide whether and how to implement Council policy. How does it help if it’s just a policy recommendation? City executives, under the direction of City Manager Spencer Cronk, will implement the GRACE Act’s recommendations once it passes. Who supports the GRACE Act? Mayor Steve Adler and Council Members Vanessa Fuentes, Paige Ellis, and Kathie Tovo are our co-sponsors. Texas open meeting laws prevent us from talking to more than 4 fellow voting members about any resolution, but I can confirm everyone we have spoken with is in support. The population of Austin has demonstrated repeatedly that we are a city that supports reproductive health choices. Will the GRACE Act pass? I am confident that the City Council wants to protect abortion in Austin. CM Vanessa Fuentes’s resolution banning reproductive discrimination passed 10-1 with no discussion. There is significant support for actions like the GRACE Act on the Council and among our constituents. Legal Questions How does the GRACE Act supersede state law? The GRACE Act does not supersede state law. It is a statement of policy that provides guidelines for the city on how to prioritize enforcement of the abortion ban among hundreds of more important crimes, and it determines the amount of funds which can be dedicated to the project. It does not conflict with the state’s designation of abortion as a crime, and it does not prohibit or limit the investigation of any crime. Does the GRACE Act stop the State …

Equity Considerations in Contracts and Program Funding Austin Arts Commission February 24, 2022 Neal Falgoust, Assistant City Attorney Purpose • Discuss legal risks associated with using race, gender and protected-class criteria in determining awards of contracts and program funding. 2 Why Now? • Recent federal court decisions that put race-focused programs at risk. • Law Department deliberative process. • Briefing to City Council. 3 Acknowledgement • History of intentional racial segregation – 1928 Master Plan and “Negro District.” • Oppression of BIPOC – 1954 Federal Housing Act, “urban renewal,” and seizing of Black-owned land. • City Council has committed the City to correcting its racist practices. (Resolution 20210304-067) 4 City’s Programs • As part of Project Connect, community members developed displacement mitigation strategies and an equity tool to guide decision making. (“Nothing About Us Without Us”) • EDD also wants an equity focus for the Cultural Arts and Heritage Tourism grant programs. 5 Legal Foundation • 14th Amendment – Equal Protection Clause • No government may “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” 6 “Tiered Scrutiny” • Strict Scrutiny (Race, National Origin, Religion, Alienage) – Government must demonstrate the policy is narrowly tailored to meet a compelling purpose. • Intermediate Scrutiny (Gender, Sex, Sexual Orientation?) – Government must demonstrate the policy is substantially related to an important purpose. • Rational Basis (Age, Disability, Wealth, Felony Status) – The policy must have a rational connection to a legitimate interest. 7 Strict Scrutiny Any government program that takes race into consideration faces strict scrutiny by the courts. Strict scrutiny is the most rigorous judicial review. Courts start with presumption that policy is invalid and government must prove its interests. 8 Compelling Government Interest The government must demonstrate: • actual discrimination in the relevant market, and • that the government either actively or passively perpetuated the discrimination. 9 Narrowly Tailored The government must demonstrate: • it considered other race-neutral policies; • race-neutral policies failed to achieve the compelling interest. 10 City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co. • “Generalized assertions” of past racial discrimination would not justify “rigid” quotas; • 30 percent quota could not be connected to “any injury suffered by anyone;” • Race-neutral measures must be seriously considered. 11 Evidence Acceptable to a Court Disparity studies are conducted to determine if there is discrimination in the studied market and if the government is an active …

ELECTRIC UTILITY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220808-002 August 8, 2022 Proposed Fiscal Year 2022-23 Austin Energy Budget Date: Subject: Motioned By: Commissioner Chapman Recommendation The Electric Utility Commission endorses the proposed Fiscal Year 2022-23 Austin Energy budget with the following modifications: Description of Recommendation to Council Seconded By: Commissioner Jonker • The EUC wants to make it clear that in endorsing the Austin Energy FY 2023 budget, we are not endorsing changes related to the proposed base rate increase introduced by Austin Energy on April 18th. • Additional costs related to the Fayette Coal Plant as laid out in the budget should be carefully scrutinized by city council given the stated goal of getting out of coal by the end of the year. • City Council should authorize funding in FY 2023 for an update to the 2015 Decommissioning study to determine if the budgetary set-aside of $8 million dollars per year to the non-nuclear decommissioning fund is the appropriate amount. • With nearly half of Austin’s population living in rental housing, we recommend the Council review current efforts by Austin Energy to make improvements to energy efficiency programs and ensure equity in access to efficiency programs. • Funding for direct install weatherization programs and multi-family programs have remained stagnant in FY 2023 as proposed. The EUC recommends that Council work with Austin Energy to increase the budgets of multi-family and home weatherization programs proportionally to the overall increase in the Customer Energy Solutions budget. In order to assess community concerns with potential groundwater contamination in the area of the coal plant, City Council should authorize up to $100,000 in additional groundwater testing for a third-party to conduct focused testing of groundwater and water wells in the immediate area. Chair Hopkins, Vice Chair Tuttle, Commissioner Chapman, Commissioner Ferchill, Commissioner Hadden, Commissioner Jonker, Commissioner Reed, Commissioner Trostle • Vote For: Against: None Abstain: None 1 of 2 Absent: Commissioner Bowen, Commissioner Funkhauser Attest: Robin Otto, Staff Liaison 2 of 2
